Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O): 5 Years, 85,000 Kms & Written Off

. This is a discussion on Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O): 5 Years, 85,000 Kms & Written Off within Ownership Reviews. Part of The Automotive Reviews category; hey nick
Your thread is very useful man.
i m getting my verna in 5 days.
i m thinking of ...

My headlights never showed up any fog.xtreme visions are good but when i drive in rains,i sometimes feel that the stock,'yellower' bulbs make up for better visibility.
About your head lamps,try to get a free replacement or if your 2 year warranty ends (i think in september ) then get the 2014 verna headlamps LED Projection DAY Light Head Lamp Pair Hyundai Accent Solaris 2011 2012 2013 | eBay
Those headlamps are stock for the updated verna which is being launched in 2014 in US,named as 2014 Accent.they even have LED DRLs in then!Hope they launch this update in India too..if they do launch then i will also swap my headlamps with these projectors.
Apart from headlamps they has also done updates to minor things like alloy wheels design,etc,etc.
To add more spice,you can also add these LED Tail lights! Red Clear Lens L E D Tail Lights for Accent GLS Sedan Model Only 2011 2012 | eBay
They are quite cheap for LEDs but are of good quality.

Wow! The eyes look so awesome!!! Just wish if the USD INR conversion was not so high. 25-30k for these headlamps would be good value for money. Tail lights also look good and classy but I think the front ones are super. Hope the light quality and projection of light on road is good too!

Thanks Vicky.
There was a minor scratch yesterday on the rear bumper corner coming till the rear left tyre, a bike wala trying to overtake from left with a small oxygen cylinder
Any idea how to remove this minor bruise. being black it is very much visible...

If the paint has not come off and its like a minor scratch then probably you can buy Formula 1 Scratch Out. I have personally used this product and have kept with me to remove the stains also. It is good to remove bird droppings.

Hi Nick,
I am waiting for delivery of verna 1.4 vtvt. It will be in next 20 days or so since its order to make.
Got good deal from dealer.BTW Hows ur latest mileage figures ?
What is a top speed you have achieved so far from this monster?

I got chance to test drive 1.6 on express way and I was like in no time at 140kmph!! I am enthusiastic kind of driver and I wanted to stretch it more but traffice was moving at slower space and SA who was sitting beside me started becoming nervous the way I was driving

I bet the wait is the worst feeling you have to go through right?
I do not recommend driving at high speeds in any car its just not safe to do so, however just this one time I did on a road near my place which has straight roads and no people near by, I took the car till 170km/h that was the only time.
i used to get 11-13 fe but somehow these days its dropped down to 8/9, I do have lots of traffic but thats just 10% out of my drive the remaining allows me to be in the 4th/5th gear. Could be cause of the clutch issue.

Yeah wait is a bit annoying but I have learned to be patient as well may be because I still love my current Chevy Beat its doing a exceptional job as a workhorse and didn't really want upgrade. I will enjoy it till fluidic comes to my guarrage

Beat has been very good low maintanance car so far in this 3 and half years !!
Dont know if I will have same experience with upcoming new beauty.fingers crossed!!

Well please keep us updated about clutch issue.dont know if you have visited service center and updated here what they had to say about it.

Yes it does work. When you speed increases, the noise from outside source like - open windows, Tyre Friction increase. Because of this your Audio volumes becomes less due to outside sound. To compensate that SDVC if enables automatically adjusts the volume based on the Speed of your vehicle.

You will hardly feel the increase beacuse you are equally hearing the noise. So it just balances. But some times you can make out.

I have 1.4 fludic crdi. Car is awesome and giving me FE ~21. But, in 1.4 version car does not have front arm rest. Do you guys know any good shop/online store from where I can buy front arm rest.

Also, Want to share one thing, this machine is awesome but have very bad quality bumpers (front and rear both). Do you guys have any ideas about the cost of verna bumpers?

Thanks.

I went to Hyundai last week and one of the verna customer came for bumper replacement.At that time adviser quoted 1600 for front bumper(which do not have colour) and paint around 4k.So if you just buy it from Hyundai and paint it from outside job will be done at lesser cost
Also he shared example when fog lamps needs fevi quick as they are directly mounted on bumpers

I have a query regarding 1.4, I read March 2012 article recently and it says reverse camera will be offered on base variant and for which cost has been raised.any info?

Well I did visit my service center numerous times for this and other bugging issues, they either say they cannot see anything wrong or its manufactured that way.
I have a very busy schedule at times I go a couple of days with no sleep. So taking the car to the service needs a day when I am free and not sleepy.
I think this time I will try another service center. If they as well behave the same then i move on to the Mobil garages and fit an aftermarket clutch kit and anyways these guys do not honor a clutch warranty even if the problem was noted on the first day.

Major update on the car: Removed window films, kind of feels better while driving at nights, the windshield and rear still have the tints on. Fe dropped down to 9. Suspensions make bad noises while going through potholes. Got two bent alloys all because of driving on the moon at night.

Hi Nick,

I surely feel you are not getting proper customer service. I had a clutch releaser bearing, suspension, Key, Water pump(windshield) problems and all were replaced under warranty.

I think if they are not answering your problems, then you must switch on to his competitor dealer in the same city and tell ask him if he can solve his problem.

Secondly, you should mail cr@hmil.net and they will surely respond to you. I hope you are still within the warranty period.

yea my 2 year warranty should be coming to an end this September after which i have a year of extended warranty. They have changed a couple of parts by me pestering them, like suspension and master cylinder, to resolve the clutch issues they keep bleeding my hydraulic lines. The last time I was around when they did it and i asked why is the oil not flowing out? one mechanic says its normal, I asked my dads friend in the warranty department he said its normal , I then asked a Mechanic who I had a couple of times seen working on clutch systems. He came over checked it and told the warranty guy that its a master cylinder issue. Little argument on to replace the part or not and finally it was but no difference.

I so wished these guys were like Apple, take your laptop for a warranty repair they scan it for other problems and replace parts for even problems you did not notify of.
